Hello, this is Klaus.
Around this time last year, an article was all over China’s state media
titled “Everyone can feel that a profound change is taking place!”
and causing worries about a 2nd Cultural Revolution,
which was very likely, according to many signs.
Now, it seems that it’s been happening quietly.
A few days ago, while I was browsing China’s Weibo,
I saw many posts scolding Mo Yan,
saying that his works smear China and pander to Western tastes.
Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2012.
Back then, he was officially celebrated as the “first Chinese Nobel Prize winner”.
He once said that literature should not sing the praises of kings,
but only speak for the people.
When I was in elementary school in China,
my teacher once said, “There hasn’t been a Nobel Prize winner in China.
We are still far behind the world.”
At that time, I thought to myself,
“I want to be a scientist in the future and win the Nobel Prize.”
Once the Nobel Prize was the dream of the Chinese.
Now it has been demonized.
A Chinese Nobel Prize winner is now deemed a foreigners’ lackey.
A recently released high grossing movie "Return to Dust"
is also criticized by many Chinese for winning multiple foreign film awards
and for "portraying China as poverty-stricken and vilifying the Chinese" to appeal to the West.
Also, many Chinese universities no longer participate in the world rankings.
Surprisingly, many say that is a good thing, “allowing schools to focus more on their own growth”.
“We still participate in rankings, just not world rankings.
Competition in China's domestic education is so fierce. There are dozens of ranking agencies.
China doesn’t participate in any world rankings now.
Naturally, the focus will be more on domestic rankings."
China is simply cutting itself off from the world in terms of education.
In terms of control over speech, I believe we can all feel it.
These years, the deletion of online posts and accounts has been brutal.
Recently, netizens shared online their difficulties in various industries.
The posts were deleted and the blogger was banned.
Even non-political topics can’t be discussed now.
The communist movement seems to have also returned in ideology and culture.
In the past two years, there have been voices constantly questioning the reform and opening up policy.
Many have started to criticize even Deng Xiaoping,
blaming the corruption of Chinese officials and the disparity between the rich and the poor on the opening up policy.
Kids growing up in China in the past few years would’ve had no access to any normal worldview.
Since Xi Jinping came to power, he has been cutting China off from the world, turning China into North Korea.
Now the 20th National Congress is approaching, and a transfer of power is expected.
But Xi is still talking about fighting enemies,
appointing military officers and changing the party constitution.
It is highly likely that he will get his 3rd term.
So where will China go in the future?
Will China close its doors and go into seclusion?
Many people are concerned about this.
I’ve been following the Chinese emigration issue for over two years.
I said long ago that an exodus would be harder and harder for the Chinese.
In the past two years, I believe you have all seen it.
According to our speculation about Xi Jinping,
if he were to get a 3rd term, he would officially start to close down China.
It is said that next year the Chinese going abroad will need to apply in advance.
In fact, closing down China is not only in line with Xi Jinping's politics,
but also in the interest of the Chinese Communist Party (Communist China).
China's population is aging and the birth rate is declining rapidly.
China has lifted restrictions on childbirth.
Officials have been pushing hard their third-child agenda, but to little avail.
Look at China's population in the first half of 2022.
For the first time, their number of deaths exceeded the number of births, commonly known as the "Russian Cross".
In addition, China suffers from its economic downturn and COVID alarmism.
In recent years, “Runology” has risen.
The slaves are having fewer and fewer children already.
Now they’re thinking of escaping, which spells doom for China in the long run.
No dictator would allow this, let alone Xi who wants to become emperor.
“Re-election” will be the biggest challenge for Xi Jinping.
After all, this is a violation of China’s constitution and party rules.
If his first “re-election” is successful, subsequent ones will be as well.
Thus, Xi can't do anything too outrageous at the moment.
He doesn't want to be labeled as “the one shutting down the country” either.
But once he is “re-elected”, he will certainly do as he pleases.
Therefore, the period before the 20th National Congress
may be the last window of opportunity to escape China.
Although it is hard to get out now, there is at least a chance.
I’ve seen many people who have succeeded.
But many attention-seekers or China’s mouthpieces
are exaggerating the difficulty of runology,
spreading all kinds of rumors to mislead people.
They say that passports are very hard to get and cannot guarantee overseas travel,
and that you may be turned back and even your passport and green card may be cut at the airport.
Thus, many people, feeling discouraged, cancel their exodus plans,
and continue to live in China as slaves.
I know so many people who have succeeded in runology,
and have encountered none of those horror stories you hear online.
Failure is possible, but its probability is low.
The CCP is a bunch of thugs, but they wouldn’t destroy passports for no reason.
There are people successful in getting out every day.
Exodus is not as difficult as you think.
Firstly, apply for a passport. They hardly issue passports to travelers now.
You need an acceptance letter from a foreign school. This you can do by yourself.
You can also use a labor contract to work abroad to apply for a passport.
The department of immigration will certainly give you a hard time.
But as long as you insist on going abroad, try to cooperate, and submit supplementary documents,
most of you eventually will get a passport.
A single mother without a high school diploma was asked to write a "personal statement".
After submitting this document, she was finally able to get a passport.
It is not entirely true that travelers cannot get out.
At least Macau has always been open to tourists.
You can use a Hong Kong and Macao Travel Permit to exit directly from Gongbei Port.
No one would ask you the reason for leaving.
You can fly from Macau to a third country as long as you meet the entry requirements of the destination.
Also, there are some ports, such as Xiamen,
where you can get out using a tourist visa.
Just don’t say you are a tourist.
Some netizens recommend saying that you are going abroad to inspect a school.
A student visa can certainly get you out from any port smoothly.
I know a guy who wasn't vaccinated (vaccinations are required for entry into the US).
He produced a medical certificate,
which didn’t specify exemptions from COVID-19 vaccines.
So customs did not let him pass through and he had to cancel his flight.
This, strictly speaking, can’t be considered as “intentionally being hard on you”.
He had to get the jab, and arrived in the US without any problems.
Now he is also a YouTuber.
In general, as long as you have the determination, you can make it out.
Getting out is not as difficult as you might think.
We all know Ms. Feng. She is from the countryside and used to be a supermarket cashier.
She didn't have much money before she came to the US.
She became popular because people mocked her for being ugly.
When she arrived in the US, she started working in a nail salon, and now she has a green card and a foothold in the US.
There are so many countries in the world that are better than China, and there are different ways to get there.
As long as you do your homework, there is always a way that suits you.
Many people want to know whether they can find a job abroad,
if they can survive when they don’t know the language, or earn money without any skills,
if they can get a green card, or if the food agrees with them, how to get a driver's license, etc.
I do not want to answer these questions.
First, focus on getting out, after which nothing is a big deal.
Think about it. Why are so many people spending so much money,
sometimes even borrowed money, risking everything, even their lives, just to get out?
You think they’re just sightseeing abroad before returning to China?
The people vote with their feet, and pay the high price. They don’t do so on a whim.
The whole world now faces a looming population crisis.
Elon Musk also said that the world's population wasn’t too large, but too small.
Of course, he was talking about human society, not the natural world.
Labor shortage and aging population are the common problems facing the world today.
Now you can earn over $4,000/month washing dishes in a Chinese restaurant in the US.
So why be a slave in China?
In addition, only when more people get out can more truth enter China.
If there’s more and more people yearning to get out, even if they can’t,
it will still be a blow to the Chinese Communist regime.
So, run while you can!
From time to time, I will invite people who have successfully gotten out of China to share their experience.
This series will be called “Exodus from China”.
If you would like to share your experience, feel free to reach out to me.
There will be a monetary reward for you. Thank you in advance!
Well, that's it for this video.
